  It may depend on where you're starting from. It works for me if I have first chosen the forum to post in. Windows 7 Pro x64 IE11. Yes, you can edit or otherwise correct the title.

  Just as a note for the future - you can test and play around with these things in the sandbox forum over here:

  When i open a new post in any forum here in MSDN, and enter a title for the post, i don't get the similar posts list anymore.

  It seems to occur also with prev versions of IE11, so not IE11 specific.

  Can u please advise ? And BTW is it possible to edit a title after the post is running ?

  Thank u

  In my opinion this "similar posts" feature is almost worthless. It usually gives results that have little or no relevance to the desired question, and also encourages posters to add to an old (long dead and/or answered) thread.

  This latter problem could be eliminated by locking threads after some period of inactivity, but for some reason the forum management has steadfastly refused to do this.
